Ninfa

One of the canoes in the range. These are drawn in strip planking, a method that takes time and rewards it, and which suits the shape of a canoe better than plywood does.

A 4.30 m single kayak, redrawn from the glassfibre Ninfa built in Milan decades ago that was the designer's own first boat. Offered chined in stitch and glue or round hulled in strip planking.

What building a Ninfa actually takes

Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
